No Fooling, EGS Meets April 1!

Join in the fun on April Fools Day by attending the EGS morning meeting on April 1, 2014 at 9:30 am at the Gail Borden Public Library, 270 N Grove, Elgin, Illinois.

After a brief business meeting, there will be treats and lively conversation. Then, we'll settle in to hear Jane Halderman present "From Land Records to Google Earth: Mapping Your Family's Place." Jane is the owner of
“It’s Relative” and President of the Illinois State Genealogy Society.Her lectures focus on technology as applied
to genealogical research.Using Google
Earth, she will explain how to use legal land descriptions to locate where our
ancestors lived.So much to learn, so little time! Use your April 1st time wisely and add to your genealogy and technology knowledge.Hope to see you there!~ Becky
